Grading Standards
Grading Standards
Grades must be fair, valid and reliable
Grades must be fair, valid and reliable
Marking period grades must be based upon a body of evidence that is aligned to standards and expectations and that includes multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate what they know and are able to do. They must also be free from behavioral bias. A student's final grade will need to be substantiated through multiple assignments and assessment items. Teacher-developed assignments, class discussions, and project-based learning tasks can be utilized to elicit formative evidence of learning. Summative unit assessments, curriculum-based summative quizzes, and assessments developed by district teacher teams, building-level departmental teams, and/or teachers should be included in the body of evidence.
